Mia: I think people might disagree with me here but I actually like Mia. She's the sole possible bright spot in this movie. Unlike the other 5 characters, she is not from the anime. She's certainly not Misa. An original character! She's some girl that Light tells about the Death Note (which was one of his many stupid fucking ideas) and the idea of killing all these bad guys makes her hot, so they fall in love or something. The romance itself is really bad, and for some reason the romance is why they decide to go on a fucking killing spree. This is another reason why Light is so dumb... the whole "LETS BE GOD AND KILL THE BAD GUYS" idea comes out of them being together rather than actual thought or belief that he has. It's really weird.

But as the killing starts going, we see her *actually* thinking about what they are doing and what they can accomplish. What they are doing this for. And when shit starts going bad, she's the one coming up with solutions on how to deal with it (let's kill all the FBI agents tailing everyone, instead of just the one tailing you!) Light is a whiny bitch and not committed to what they are doing so he won't do it, but she steps up. She even comes up with a plan to double cross him!

In my opinion, this girl was a bad bitch and the movie should have ended with her cutting Light out for being weak, and winning over L. That would have made me actually respect this movie a little.

Instead, she get gets caught up in all of the bad writing and has to die for it. A real shame. The only reason this happened is because the writers don't actually realize that they didn't get Light and L right, and think that they have to push those two into being the spotlight. I guess they just weren't self aware enough to realize what they had in front of them.

This movie really shouldn't have been about Light. This should have just been about some other kid who gets the Death Note and tries using it. It's completely conceivable in the Death Note for this to happen. It can even still be Ryuk! Instead, they tied themselves to a story that they just didn't know how to tell...

I think even if they did try to tell an original story, it still would have been bad, since everything in this movie is incompetent. It's not just that they didn't get the characters or scenes right. They just don't know how to write or direct. But still, an original story might have been worth some respect. This was absolute garbage.


RIP Mia.
